Besides, just look at that twinkle in Ewan McGregor’s eye. But you know the old cliche: age ain’t nothing but a number. However, the best-guarded secret (and the secret which answers a big question about the Harry Potter world) is the Book of Admittance. This may actually make 55-year-old Harris a more fitting choice. Hogwarts Castle has a lot of closely guarded secrets and tricks to itfrom moving staircases to false doors and to hundreds, possibly thousands, of enchanted portraits. Alongside her son Dudley Dursley (Harry Melling) and her awful husband Vernon (Richard Griffiths), Petunia Dursley (Fiona Shaw) creates entirely unhappy memories for her nephew Harry despite being.

Then again, Depp himself is 53, and in the Harry Potter books, Grindelwald is actually established as being two years younger than Dumbledore. However, Michael Gambon would eventually be the one to land the part for the third movie and all of the rest of the mainline installments of the film franchise. At 45, McGregor is already sitting directly in the bull’s-eye-assuming the second Fantastic Beasts film is set not long after the first. And any film involving Depp’s Grindelwald could use an extra shot of good will: there’s a healthy contingent of Fantastic Beasts fans who are angry that Depp got this pivotal role, despite allegations that he abused Amber Heard during their marriage.įinally, there’s the age factor. It’s been a while since we’ve seen him take center stage in a big-swing blockbuster, and once he makes his debut next year in Fargo-as two characters-fans will likely be eager for more McGregor still. Plus, for everyone who has heard about his habit of making lightsaber noises on set, it’s pretty tempting to imagine what sound effects he might imagine for a wand.Īnother thing McGregor brings to the table? His box-office potential. He played Obi-Wan Kenobi in the Star Wars prequels, deftly embodying a younger Alec Guinness and making his character the highlight of all three films. Even so, we can’t quite push another possibility from our minds: Ewan McGregor.įirst, there’s the obvious reason: McGregor has done this before. Understandably, Harris is a favorite among many fans to play the younger version of his father-and he would be great in the role. Rowling and company, Hollywood is lousy with middle-aged white dudes who would probably jump at the chance to hop into this magical franchise-including Jared Harris, whose father, Richard Harris, enchantingly played Dumbledore in the first two Harry Potter films before his death in 2002. (Sorry, Alden Ehrenreich.) By our calculations, with a birth year of 1881, Dumbledore would be 45 when the Fantastic Beasts saga kicks off in 1926. (Not to mention who might play a young Voldemort, but we’re not quite there yet.) Well, “young” might be a bit misleading we’re not looking for a 20-something here.

I will be writing to your families tonight, and you will both receive detention.As the Fantastic Beasts series starts to glimmer with origin story potential, fans are only getting more eager to learn who will play the young future Hogwarts headmaster opposite Johnny Depp’s Gellert Grindelwald. However, as head of Gryffindor House, it is for Professor McGonagall to determine the appropriate action.īut I must impress on both of you the seriousness of what you have done. Audience score: 54 Audiences felt the sequel to 2016s 'Fantastic Beasts' left a lot to be desired. I am well aware of our bylaws, Severus, having written quite a few of them myself. Jude Law played Albus Dumbledore in the film. These boys have flouted the Decree for the Restriction of Under Age Wizardry.
